AUTOMATICA 2014, Hall A5, Booth 511 of PTM once again was point of contact for users of industrial automation in automotive and general production. At all 4 days, our booth enjoyed a lively interest, because introduced novelties like the ProfiNet robotic tool change system “SIGMA New Generation” for payloads up to 1500 Kg with EN 13849 –PL-d conforming safety status, as well as an extended product line of servo grippers for laboratory automation are trend setters in these areas.

Robotic Tool Change Systems from PTM in production line automation. One thinks "have seen everything" already, but for such gigantic Welding Guns we have not yet provided automatic tool change systems. The company Kocevar in Slovenia utilizes the changer systems of the SIGMA line for their welding guns. For more information please get in contact with us und use the link to the Kocevar homepage, if you want to know more about their welding guns.

Christian Olbricht and Julian Schwegmann (Karmann, Osnabrueck Germany) of the German Mobile Robtics Team used PTM Servo Gripper SG0150 on their robot in WorldSkills Calgary2009 Competition. Congratulation for an outstanding 5. place in an extremely strong field of competitors.

To comply with modern requirements in the industrial automation technique, we have extended our standard line-up of tool changers for BUS applications with a “Fast Start UP” capable ProfiNet Module Variant, as it is requested especially by the automotive industry
